Client Spotlight
Cedar found qualified, brilliant Chief of Staff candidates that would have never entered our minds. They screened them, they offered white-globe TLC to the candidates, seemingly read my mind about what I was looking for, and found them! It was an amazing, effortless experience. Their team understood what I needed and what I wanted and they ensured candidates were willing, truly interested, and more than capable. We actually considered hiring both of the finalists because they were so good!
